                Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The discussion during the
                teleconference pertains solely to internal personnel rules and
                practices of an agency and information of a personal nature where

                privacy. As such, the discussions are protected by exemptions 2 and 6
                of Sec. 552b(c) of Title 5 of the United States Code.
